Product Overview | Dual-Fuel ™ Burners

HIGH VELOCITY TILES 6425- -MB Burners have a 13 ½ " "Milk Bottle" tile with reduced outlet; they produce higher velocity flames than the standard burner, also offer somewhat better protection for burner internals from furnace radiation. Good tile installation practice is important with any burner (see Supplements DF-M1 and -M2). It is critical with Milk Bottle tiles because of higher pressures developed in the tile, which can cause burner and furnace wall damage if not properly sealed. into the wall. IGNITION/FLAME SUPERVISION A 4011-12 pilot set is recommended for individual burner ignition. When multiple burners share a single pilot pre-mix header, a 4021-12 pilot tip per burner with an appropriately sized air/gas mixer is recommended. All burners should use flame supervision if they operate in combustion chambers that are below 1400°F during at least part of their cycles. Interrupted pilots are required for such installations. For continuous high temperature furnaces and those with 1400°F flame supervision bypass systems, intermittent pilots are sometimes used: These should be turned off in all applications above 2000°F to avoid overheating burner body and mounting.

CONSTRUCTION Metal parts are shielded by refractory: the tile and an insulating refractory "biscuit" covering face of burner. Mounting plate and burner body are made of heat resistant cast iron. Burner tile is 3200°F castable material. Air tubes are high grade alloy. The standard burner is limited to operation with gaseous fuels and distillate oils. The standard materials of construction are not suitable for operation with heavy oils. 6425 Burners are designed specifically for higher temperature operations such as forge furnaces, ceramic kilns, metal and glass melters, heat treat furnaces, etc. They are the high temperature version of North American's 6422 Fire.All Burner, one of the most widely used industrial burners in the world. 6425's are particularly appropriate for applications that run at both high and low temperatures--an example is a batch type kiln in which early parts of the cycle run below 1200°F and require free oxygen in kiln atmosphere for raw material to process prop- erly; then frequently the product must "soak" at temperatures above 2000°F. 6425 Burners handle this duty with ease due to their excess air flexibility and their construction that withstands radiant heat.

In furnace chambers above 2000°F, combustion air should not be turned down below 2 osi (with or without fuel on).
